To start with, I want to make a disclaimer that all memes are subjective, and all memes have their own quality banter. This is a list of my personal favourite meme types, feel free to critique them and disagree. At the end of the day, all memes are pretty wholesome, and I hope you enjoy this small selection.
1. Classical / medieval art memes, because thereâs nothing like warped facial expressions, contorted figures, and overly extra, dramatic depictions of situations. Who ever said the snowflake generation didnât have culture? Also, theyâre probably the most âDurhamâ meme out there.
2. Peep show memes. Whether youâve realised you donât actually enjoy clubbing, or youâve reached the point in life where breakfast is the most exciting part of your day – everyoneâs got a little Mark Corrigan inside them. If you havenât seen Peep Show Iâm sorry for you.
3. Kermit memes. Itâs weird how humans can laugh about reality by relating to a little green frog sock puppet, but really, we all know that Kermitâs there for us when no one else is.  My personal favourite has to be the hooded Kermit, who exposes everyoneâs deeply hidden darkside, even if it is with regards to trivia such as kicking ice under the fridge. Â
4. The next one is possibly the most uplifting meme in existence: the âRoll Safe Think About Itâ meme, which can change anyoneâs glass from half empty to half full. Really, it has a very important moral message that a shift in perspective can make anything positive. Memes are more than just a joke, they can really help guide you in life.
5. The âchecking outâ memes are kind of annoyingly funny, and you donât really want to laugh at them but still do anyway (or at least I do). Anyway, they make up the last one on the list.
As I reach the end of writing this article Iâm realising I chose an impossible task (and also that I have a weird sense of humour). Iâm left feeling sad and guilty about not including salt bae, doggo memes or the expanding brain memes. I could never do the meme world justice, and although this is sad, I am grateful for all the memes that bless us.
